Have You Tried Praise ? – 2Chronicles 20:12, 15 – O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s. When you don’t know what else to do in the face of trials and challenges, reposition yourself and go into praise; by doing so, you transfer the battle to God. When you praise God, HE takes over the battle from you and when God takes over, victory is certain. 2Chronicles 20:22 -And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

WINNERS NEVER QUIT Winning is not an event.. it is a lifestyle, an attitude. Winners are not upset with defeat, they only step on it for victory. A little girl, the 20th of 22 children was born prematurely and her survival was doubtful. When she was 4 years old she contracted double pneumonia and scarlet fever which left her with a paralyzed left leg. At age 9 she removed the metal leg brace she had been dependent on and began to walk without it. At 13, she had developed a consistent walk which doctors said was a miracle. The same year she decided to become a runner to the jeers of her peers; she registered for a race and came out last. For some years thereafter, every race she entered, she came out last. Everyone told her to QUIT, but she kept running and coming out last but one day she actually won a race, then another and then another. From then on she won every race she registered for. Eventually, the little girl WILMA RUDOLPH, went on to ...

Failing does not mean you are a failure, it means you have not succeeded yet. It does not mean you have accomplished nothing, It does mean you have learned something. Failing does not mean you are a fool, it does mean you have lot of faith. It does not mean you have been disgraced, it means you are willing to try. Failing does not mean you don’t have it, It means you have to do something in a different way. It does not mean you are inferior, it only means you are not perfect. Failing does not mean you have wasted your life, it does mean you have a reason to start afresh. It does not mean you should give up, it only means you should try harder. Failing does not mean you will neva make it, it does mean it will take a little longer. Finally, it does not mean God has abandoned you, it does mean that God the master planner, has a better idea. For you to ever begin, you have succeeded. When faced with a mountain, i will not quit! i will keep on striving untill i climb over, find...
